Okay, so I'm a stud noob, but I'm trying to learn a bit so please bare with me.

I bring in with (3h2c)6d and get called in succession by (A)Qs, (B)Ks, (C)Kd.
Should I start with a complete here? I almost always just bring in no matter what I have. Is there any general guideline on when we should bring in for the full bet instead of half?

Was this game 4-handed? If not, it's a good idea to list the folded up cards. Sometimes it's possible to consider folded up cards and make inferences about down cards.

Was this game online? If so, it's hard to say what people acting behind you will do. I generally don't complete in full-table ring-game stud8 unless I look to be the only low; I don't want to sell out my hand. Other players take a different approach.

4th: (B)KsJc (C)KdTh bets, Hero (3h2c)6d5h raises, (A)Qs9h calls, b folds, c raises, I cap, b calls, c calls.

Four cards to a 6 low and a gutshot--I like this raise. Sometimes beginners wait for the big bet on 5th street before they pop it, but here you are free-rolling against three high hands, so why wait? You lose one player that you may have lost anyway, but you get to cap it three-way.

5th: C, KdTh2d bets, I catch Kc and raise, B, Qs9h4h calls, C raises, I cap b calls, c calls.
Is capping good with just a draw for low and 3 outs to scoop here?

Here you miss, but keep pounding. You do have some high equity, but basically you are playing for low. For every dollar you put in the pot, you are hoping to get $.50 back. Your position here isn't good enough to be laying those odds, and bluffing isn't going to get the money in a 1-2 game. You figured the equity for 6th street, if you figure it here you'll see that you have a call.

6th: B, Qs9h4hQh checks, C, KdTh2d3c checks, I catch 9d check.
This is a clear check right? 40% to make a low, 8% to the straight, so noly 24% pot equity.

Right. Check.

7th: B bets, C calls, I make an 8 and raise, B calls, C calls

It looks like you have the only low. Since C has already called one bet, might as well raise.
